what it is
Made In Japan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But ignorance never stopped no one
Life is spent in an empty room
Full of junk that you can't consume
A modest grin, a simple thing
A kitchen sink or a late night fling
It's happened before it'll happen again
I wanna find out what it is on the other side of town
I wanna grab what I can from the fountain of the frown
And I'll go down to the place where they beckon you for more
And I'll find out what it is that's been banging on the door
I've been here for way too long
A crumpled suit and a mobile phone
Mementos of a life I left a long long time ago
But you wouldn't even know
I wanna find out what it is on the other side of town
I wanna grab what I can from the fountain of the frown
And I'll go down to the place where they beckon you for more
And I'll find out what it is that's been banging on the door
And there's no fear
And there's no fear
I wanna find out what it is
I wanna find out what it is
I wanna find out what it is on the other side of town
I wanna grab what I can from the fountain of the frown
And I'll go down to the place where they beckon you for more
And I'll find out what it is that's been banging on the door
The song "What It Is" by Made In Japan is about the search for meaning and purpose in life, and the dissatisfaction that comes with feeling stuck or unfulfilled. The singer is young and inexperienced, but they're not willing to let that hold them back from exploring the world around them. They feel trapped in an "empty room" filled with material possessions that can't bring them true happiness.
The chorus features a strong desire to break free from this stagnant existence and discover what else is out there. The "fountain of the frown" represents a source of negativity or sadness that the singer wants to escape from. They're willing to take risks and chase their curiosity, even if it means leaving behind a comfortable but unfulfilling life.
Throughout the song, the singer's tone is both determined and introspective. They recognize that their current situation isn't enough, but they're also not sure what they're searching for. The repetition of "I wanna find out what it is" emphasizes this uncertainty and the urgency to keep searching. In the end, the singer's willingness to embrace the unknown is a testament to their resilience and courage.
